Breeding for Beginners


"Breeding for Beginners"," You can take immense pride in achieving this, but is particularly true for the more difficult species to breed.


Mollies Guppies, Swordtails and Platys are fantastic fish for beginners to breed.
 These fish come in an enormous variety of colours and patterns and are great for beginner breeders to hone their newly acquired skills

Probably THE most important tip on breeding tropical fish that bear live young is to keep the baby fish, called fry, away from the rest of your community tank.
 If you don't your breeding efforts will be in vain.


Your best bet to avoid this fate is to use a separate breeding tank with lots of plants and foliage for the fry to hide in.


Water temperature and tank size are both very important when it comes to conditioning tropical fish.
 Fish are conditioned to breed when the water temperature signals to them that it is breeding season.
 As a general rule, larger tanks tend to produce larger numbers of fry in one birth as well.
 However as it isn't always possible to obtain 'specialist food', nowadays a well balanced diet can be provided easily in the form of high quality flaked or similar prepared food.


The joy that you get from breeding fish will be all the more if you follow these basic rules.

Selective breeding has produced a number of ornamental oscars bred specially for aquarists. The variety with mainly red coloration is typically sold under the trade name, red oscar. This is a highly marketable trait. They are aware that another world exists outside of their aquatic environment. Oscars will often rise to the surface when their owners are in the room. They have even been known to enjoy being petted. You can fed them tropical fish flakes when they are small. As they grow, their dietary needs become more substantial. They won't be there in the morning. They have been reported to lie on their sides mimicking death in order to induce their prey to draw closer. Oscars are commonly kept in mono-species tanks. 2. They will develop health problems if the are not. They will uproot plants from the aquarium substrate. Oscar Spawning Oscars are strictly monogamous. Oscars, like most cichlids, will clean flat surface to deposit their eggs on. In laymen's terms this means; Once the eggs are hatched they will burrow a shallow pit to keep the eggs in. The fry will hatch about 36 hours after fertilization. Oscar fry can be fed rotifers, newly hatched brine shrimp, powdered eggs, or finely crushed fish flakes. THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND
